for staying in San Jose for one or two nights, it´s a good alternative. It´s not far from the center, you can walk easily within 15 min. Sometimes you hear a noise from a train but thats all noises you can hear. The rooms and the surrounding is ok. Nice Poolarea but without a bar. Point to highlight: very friendly... More

A good hotel in San Jose, if you only stay for a night. All in all is very average, nothing to write home about. Location is quiet, if you can overhear an occasional whistle of a train passing by. Small garden with a small pool, no bar, but a fridge with drinks. More

This apartment/hotel is about 20-30 minutes from the airport in San José. It looks like a warehouse from the outside, but is really very nice once you get inside. We have stayed here many times and each time, the hotel is a welcome relief from the noise and congestion of the city. The location is just right. It's a quick... More

We have stayed in El Sesteo, and it is a friendly and nice place to stay just outside the busy center of San Jose. You can park your car inside the carport. There is a beautiful garden with pool (we didnt go in but it looked good). Rooms are quite big, we had one with a kitchen, ful equiped. We... More

I recently stayed in El Sesteo for several days when I was in San Jose for Dental treatment. The rooms are very clean, but a bit dreary. They are poorly lit, so it's hard to read. The pool area is nice, with lush landscaping. Only a few rooms have air conditioning, so you have to keep the windows open for... More

This is simply an excellent hotel to choose if you're in San José, and I stay here every time I come to Costa Rica. The location is perfect (very centric), the tropical landscaping and outdoor pool are wonderful, and the prices are more than reasonable for a hotel of this quality. Above all, the staff is friendly, attentive, and will... More

Hello, we checked into the El Sesteo last night after a very long flight from Canada...the staff were nice and though the rooms were pretty worn and tired it would have been okay...except that when my friend and I looked at the mattress we saw little brown bugs in the crevices! We know what bedbugs look like and that's what... More
